Die Entwicklung des Nissan GT-R: Eine umfassende Geschichte②-KPGC110-1971

Der Nissan Skyline GT-R KPGC110, also known as the “Kenmeri” GT-R, is a highly coveted classic car from Nissan’s Skyline lineage. It was introduced in 1971 and produced briefly in 1973. This model was the second generation of the GT-R line and was the successor to the iconic KPGC10 GT-R. The KPGC110 is named after its chassis code, where “K” stands for coupe, “P” for the performance (GT-R), and “C” for the third generation of the C10 series.

The nickname “Kenmeri” comes from the marketing campaign for the car, which featured a couple named “Ken” and “Mary” in a romantic setting, making the car associated with that nickname among enthusiasts.

Hauptmerkmale:

• Motor: It was powered by the S20 2.0-liter inline-6 engine, producing 160 horsepower at 7000 RPM, which was a carryover from the first-generation GT-R. This engine had a reputation for being a race-bred unit, initially developed for Nissan’s racing efforts.
• Übertragung: It came with a 5-speed manual transmission, sending power to the rear wheels.
• Design: The KPGC110 had a distinctive and more modern look compared to its predecessor, with smoother lines and a sportier coupe design. It was lower, wider, and featured flared fenders to accommodate wider tires.
• Rarity: Only 197 units of the GT-R variant were ever produced, making it one of the rarest GT-R models. Production was cut short due to stricter emissions regulations in Japan during the 1970s oil crisis.

Though it never had a racing career like the previous GT-R models due to the premature end of its production, the KPGC110 remains one of the most sought-after cars in Nissan’s heritage.
